166 East 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 166 East 119th Street building, a 6-story New Law tenement constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably regarding heat/hot water supply and interior maintenance problems. The most recent heating complaint from January 2025 was closed without inspection access, while multiple unresolved complaints from December 2024 concern ceiling paint/plaster issues and mold problems. Earlier in 2024, several complaints related to various maintenance issues were either closed without violations or resulted in HPD violations, particularly a July inspection that documented necessary repairs to ceilings and window frames.
The building has a history of heating system issues, with violations documented in both 2022 and 2021, and a significant pattern of water-related problems including multiple hot water supply complaints in recent years. The property has undergone several inspections and violations related to building safety and code compliance. In 2022, there were multiple Environmental Control Board violations regarding illegal apartment modifications on the first floor and unauthorized work, though these were resolved with penalties totaling $10,000.
The building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, though there were some failures noted in 2021. Energy compliance issues were recorded in 2022 regarding benchmarking reports and energy efficiency displays, though these violations were eventually dismissed. The property owner, Luwanda Luck, has maintained regular bedbug reporting showing no active infestations since 2019, and recent electrical work permits were issued in August 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to building systems.
